Another Bandsaw Bowl

This bowl is made of mostly small leftover pieces from other bowls. They are fun to make and seem to be very popular considering the number of views. This one contains Bloodwood, Maple, Cherry, Sapele, African Mahogony and Monterillo.

I glue up my blank from leftovers into a blank approx 11” square. The thickness is the board thickness about 13/16”. Split the blank in half and tape back together. Draw concentric circles on the blank starting with about a 2.5” radius and increasing by about 3/4-7/8 in size for each successive circle.

Set the bandsaw table at about 45 degrees and cut along the lines. Reglue the appropriate halves of the circles together. Because of the 45 degree cutting angle they will stack into a bowl shape.

Michelletwo,

I still enjoy the strong symettry possible with segmentation especially with stave construction, but I must admit when the Tung Oil goes on and the colors pop, I do get a big kick.
